Not Deplorables, Fascists

When, due to the words and actions of a certain segment of the population, Hillary Clinton called them "deplorables", she was roundly criticised. For the Right, it was typical elite disdain for common folk. For the left, it was a terrible political miscalculation, alienating potential voters.Maybe costing her the election, oh my. All these years later, it is fine to call these same citizens bigoted, transphobic fascists. No one bats an eye. We owe Hillary an apology. They are absolutely deplorable and extremely proud of it. Of course Hillary is deplorable in her own right and I'm glad she lost her race. Deplorables have rallied around Trump because he is the King Daddy of Deplorable, he elevates it to an art form, and in a Democracy you get to be represented. it says so in the Constitution. Because I live in a place swarming with deplorables, I always found it humorous that pundits believed they might possibly have voted for Hillary had she not insulted them. These people would sooner run her over in their monster trucks than vote for her. When they chanted "lock her up!" they were gleefully imagining her being brutalized in prison. I love that the thing Republicans were risking default over was the ability of the IRS to tax the very wealthy. This was something they just couldn't abide. Deplorables have a confusing love/hate relationship with the very wealthy. Because they are a confused bunch. So confused they think someday they might be very wealthy and they don't want to be taxed.
